HEATER ATTACHMENT FOR GAS-LAMPS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY F. BLooM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sandusky, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Heater Attachment for Gas-Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of heater attachments which are designed to utilize the heat thrown off from a gas lamp, and it is the object of the present invention to provide a heater attachment from which there is no escape of gas, odor, or smoke, and also to provide an attachment of the kind stated which is simple in structure, and highly efficient in operation.

Another object is to provide a heater attachment which can be easily taken apart for cleaning purposes.

With the foregoing objects in view, the invention consists in a novel construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the drawings hereto annexed in which,

Figure 1 is an elevation of one form of lamp and heater attachment, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of another form.

In the drawings there is shown at 10 a suitable burner base to which a gas pipe 11 is connected. Into the base are tapped the burner tubes 12, the burners being of the mantle type. Any suitable number of burners may be provided.

The burner base 10 has a screw-threaded stem 13 on which is mounted a cap 14 having an external shoulder 15. Over this cap is slipped a tube 16 which seats at its lower end on the shoulder 15. The upper end of the tube is slightly flared as indicated at 17. Within the tube 16 is received a tube 18, the last-mentioned tube being formed with a head 19 which engages the flared portion 17 and holds the said tube 18 in place within the tube 16. The tube 18 extends from the tube 16 a suitable distance and supports at its upper end the heating drum to be presently described.

The heating drum just referred to comprises conical top and bottom walls 20 and 21 respectively, and a cylindrical side wall 22. The bottom wall 21 is covered on the outside with asbestos as indicated at 23, and is also formed with openings 21-. The top and bottom walls of the drum. are also Specification of Letters Patent.

formed with central which the tube 18 passes.

The drum herein described is surrounded by a dome comprising a conical top 2:"), and a cylindrical side wall 26, the former being provided with openings 27, and the latter with openings 28. On the inner surface of the wall 26 is a lining 29 of asbestos. The top 25 is spaced a suitable distance from the Wall 20, and the wall 26 is spaced from the wall 22. Located centrally within the dome is a short section of sleeve 30, said sleeve being secured to the top 25, and slipping over the upper end of the tube 18, whereby the dome is held in place thereon. The drum is held in place on the tube 18 by means of a sleeve 31 encircling the same, said sleeve having an inverted conical shape, and engaging at one end the bottom 21 of the drum. The other end of the sleeve is supported on the bead 19. The outer surface of sleeve is covered with asbestos as indicated at 31*. The sleeve engages the bottom wall of the drum above the openings 24, and by reason of its conical shape also acts as a deflector.

The various parts constituting the heating attachment can be readily taken apart, which permits said attachment to be easily cleaned. The dome can he slipped off the tube 18, after which the drum can be removed from the tube. The sleeve 31 can also he slipped off the tube.

From the walls 26 of the dome depends a skirting 32 of mica which surrounds the mantles 33 of the burners.

If desired the pipe 11 may enter the burner base on top in which event it will lead thereto through the tubes 16 and 18, as shown in Fig. 1.

What is claimed is 1. The combination with. a burner, of a support rising therefrom, said support being formed with a bead, a drum located above the burner, and having a central opening through which the support extends, an inverted conical sleeve surrounding the snpport and engageable at one end with the bead, and at the opposite end with the bottom Wall of the drum, and a dome supported by the upper end of the support, and inclosing the drum.

2. The combination with a burner, of a support rising therefrom, a drum carried by the support, said drum being located openings through above the burner, and hzn'ing a coni "a1 bottom wall provided with openings, and an inverted conical deflector beneath the drum extending to said bottom wall above the openings.

3. The combination with a burner, of a tubular support rising therefrom, said support being formed with a bead, the drum located above the burner, and having a central opening through which the support extends, and from which it rises, an inverted conical sleeve surrounding the support, and engageable at one end with the,

] bead and at the opposite end with the bottom wall of the drum, whereby the drum is removably mounted on the Support, and a dome removably mounted on the upper end of the support, and inclosing the drum.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.

HARRY F. BLOOM.
